Vegetative propagation is the backbone of commercial chrysanthemum production, yet large differences in rooting ability among varieties continue to limit efficiency and profitability. 

Grafting without rootstock cotyledons offers a cost-saving solution for watermelon production by eliminating shoot regrowth, yet its low survival rate has limited commercial adoption. 

Bioactive polysaccharides are the primary medicinal components of Dendrobium officinale, yet the transcriptional regulation underlying their biosynthesis has remained largely unclear.

Cleaning blood from a violent crime scene can complicate crime scene investigations, particularly when accurate evidence is required for a conviction in court.

A new study led by Flinders University forensic science compares evidence collected from remaining DNA and haemoglobin (red blood cells) left on cotton t-shirt material and metal knives from wet and dried blood cleaned  with a variety of different common cleaning products. 

A review article entitled "Scaffold-Mediated Microenvironmental Modulation Targeting Osteoclasts for ONFH Niche Reprogramming" has been published in Research. This article systematically summarizes the latest progress in functionalized bioactive scaffolds for regulating the intraosseous microenvironment in the treatment of early osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). Innovatively, from the perspective of osteoclast heterogeneity, it proposes a novel concept of "osteoclast-centric reprogramming of the osteonecrotic microenvironment," providing a new theoretical framework and design direction for the material-based treatment of ONFH.
